Subject: Need help after upgrade
Date: Thu, 12 Jul 2012 07:16:04 +0000 (UTC)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <loom.20120712T082408-41@post.gmane.org> (raw)

I've been using Gnus for over ten years, mainly to handle mailing lists.
Using a procmail(-like) filter I deliver mail from mailing lists into a local
news spool and read them with Gnus as nnml groups. So far so good.

Recently I upgraded from Emacs 21.4 to 24.0 and I came across a very annoying
change in behaviour.

With the old Emacs/Gnus, when I invoked Gnus, I got presented a list of all
groups that have new messages, e.g.

[ Gnus -- 10 ]
  [ Mailing lists -- 10 ]
    [ Graphics -- 10 ]
           6: nnml:maillists.gimp-user-list
           4: nnml:maillists.inkscape-user

With the new Emacs/Gnus, I get to see *all* lists, but without new message
information:

[ Gnus -- 0 ]
  [ Mailing lists -- 0 ]
    [ Graphics -- 0 ]
           *: nnml:maillists.gimp-user-list
           *: nnml:maillists.graphics
           *: nnml:maillists.inkscape-user
           *: nnml:maillists.tgif4-announce

(In the real situation, there are about 200 groups spread over several topics.)

When I enter such a group (with SPC), I can see the new messages and when I quit
the group (with q) the actual number of new messages is displayed in the
summary. E.g., after visiting the gimp user list without reading any new
messages.

[ Gnus -- 6 ]
  [ Mailing lists -- 6 ]
    [ Graphics -- 6 ]
           6: nnml:maillists.gimp-user-list
           *: nnml:maillists.graphics
           *: nnml:maillists.inkscape-user
           *: nnml:maillists.tgif4-announce

Before I start digging in my extensive setup and configuration files, does this
change in behaviour ring a bell with someone? Any suggestions where to start
looking?
